Hello,
My lips had been dry for a few weeks, so I tried different balms. They didn't seem to help so I quit them. Now, I have a dry tight patch on one corner of my lower lip. It is not a very large area. No cracking, weeping, or cuts. A few years ago, I had a case of angular cheilitis and used a combo of Lotrimin and Hydrocortisone and it cleared right up. I tried that this time and when I wipe away the creme it just gets tight, dry, and crinkly again. I have never had cold sores. It is only that small patch.
Also, if I leave it without any moisturizer or creme then it gets starts peeling a bit.
Can anyone help me figure out what this is or how to treat it?
